• Hey guys! Looking for an all-in-one package for the trek?
• Why are you so confused?
• How about a trek to Hampta Pass?
• What say?
• Still in conflicting thoughts?
• So now let me convince you.

A Himalayan trek packed with- easy access, dark pine forests, open meadows, glacial valleys, and the chivalrous crossing of a pass that leaves the heart pumping, will surely capture your heart. If you are looking to undergo a high Himalayan adventure, then the Hampta Pass Trek is the one and only trek that you should opt for.

Hampta Pass Trek comes built in with doughty adventures and there are many. So it's for sure that your taste will be suited definitely, to one or the other. Now, please bury your doubts in this regard. You will be having fun, no oops, lots of fun and a marvelous time.

As you know (well, I presume so!) Manali is fully bound in the beauty of nature. Agreed? You have to! The Hampta Pass is just a pass next door! It is situated just southeast of Manali. The cost comes to around Rs. 9000 per person. The altitude is at max 14100 feet and the approximate distance is 26 km which evaluates to a trek of 5-6 days. You usually start from Manali, pass through Prini village, and will straight away face the majestic foothills of the Himalayas- the Pir Panjal Range which is the largest range of the lower Himalayas. As you gain altitude in your trek, simultaneously you will gain views of different hues of nature from the dense greenery of pine forests to the awe-inspiring image of Mt. Deo Tibba and Mt. Indrasan and their cascading glaciers to the barren surface of Lahaul and Spiti valley.

The two valleys, Kullu and Lahaul, are connected. Just as you this trek is getting familiar with each other. Yippee! High five! So, back to the job. Though these are connected, they offer contrasting landscape images. Kullu lushes with greenery whereas Lahaul stands rocky and sandy with dark-chocolaty mountain and snow-clad peaks.

This whole trek is a paradise for bird lovers. So you can also keep Hampta Pass at the top of your list for this very reason, as almost 300 species of birds are found here.

And if you are lucky enough, you can also pay a visit to Chandratal- the moon lake in Spiti. The climb to Hampta Pass is moderately steep, so make sure you reach there by lunchtime have a heart meal, and enjoy the mood-nurturing scenes.

On your way back, you pass through Rohtang Pass- a route that is a treat in itself. Hampta Pass Trek is a grand trek for any season. It's also very promising in the monsoons when the wild flowers are in full bloom.

Well to proceed further, even I am convinced that you want to undergo this very trek to Hampta Pass and contact, praise, and be blessed with its sceptical beauty and exotic adventures all around.

You will be bound to thank me later for suggesting such a grand vacation.

Happy Trekking!
